The world is new. Civilization is in its infancy. But even now, so early in the history of mankind, corruption has become the rule rather than the exception. Survival of the human race hangs in the balance, held precariously in the hands of only two individuals: One, the most powerful and influential man in the world, surrounded by those who would take him down, should he hesitate for even a moment. The other, a simple priest of a new religion. But is this priest really who he claims to be? How is it that he knows so much about the powerful man, even though they have known each other only a very short time? How is it that he knows mankind's history better than any historian? How is it that he knows the powerful man's family secrets . . . secrets not even known to the man himself? AMON RETURNS.
